Disruptive Technology and the Future of Textiles

Starting about three years ago the term ‘disruptive’ began to be applied to enterprise business applications and while this isn’t entirely inappropriate there are some misapplications of this term.  First of all lets look at the original intent of the term disruptive as applied to technology. This moniker first appeared around the time of the mass availability of broadband and certainly became popular as the internet showed up on our phones. These advancements fostered an incredible wave of innovation and new uses for mobile devices.  Truly a disruptive event! What about enterprise solutions that run our businesses though?  Is disruption really occurring in this space? Certainly there are some disruptive advancements like AI-based planning logic and mobile oriented business applications. However a concerning trend that we are tracking the use of term ‘disruptive’ as a euphemism of sorts to  cover gaps in business solution coverage or to explain away poorly desi...

Can use of effective systems, or rather effective use of the right systems benefits textile manufacturers and converters in these "interesting" times?

The answer is obviously, YES. Textile manufacturing will not disappear of course, may shift geographically for a while but finally the strong will survive and thrive. Present day organizations cannot operate without effective systems. Effective as opposed to good or efficient means systems which are designed and operate under the textile scenarios and manage the textile requirements. The best system that runs Mercedes Benz or the Pentagon is probably not the most effective system when it comes to textiles. As clear and straight forward as this statement seems, we still see over and over, textile organizations selecting systems by their name of ability to run "integrated" financials, assuming managing the textile processes and business procedures is a no brainer. We would welcome articles or stories of organizations who have selected this route and today feel the pain and the financial burden, success stories are also welcome. There are systems out there who h...

La fine dell'ERP generalista é appena iniziata

Tra gli anni 80 e 90 del secolo scorso, l'informatica vede la progressiva scomparsa del software su misura. Interi sistemi informativi erano stati sviluppati da analisti e programmatori, interni od esterni all'azienda, che col tempo erano diventati indispensabili sia per la manutenzione che per l'evoluzione del software. In realtà la sola manutenzione era eccessivamente onerosa e per l'evoluzione tempo e risorse non erano mai sufficienti. Le aziende erano ingabbiate in soluzioni troppo strette: nasce così la spinta ada adottare le nuove soluzioni rappresentate dai monolitici e rassicuranti ERP nazionali od internazionali. Le procedure, che non prevedevano alcuna differenziazione, venivano scelte al motto: "basta adattare l'azienda agli standard". Nel frattempo la presenza sempre più invasiva dell'informatica anche nelle attività operative, dalla logistica, alla produzione, al controllo qualità, alla integrazione di fornitori e terzisti ha reso...

Cambiare l'ERP: perché?

Le soluzioni ERP si sono diffuse nel nostro mercato a partire dalla fine dello scorso secolo ed in meno di venti anni hanno sostituito quasi ovunque le soluzioni informatiche precedenti.   Dopo un lasso di tempo breve, ma significativo in un mondo che corre, pur col senno di poi, emergono i limiti di molte installazioni:   ·      il paradigma iniziale dell'ERP, che prevede l'adattamento delle procedure aziendali al software, ha spesso trascurato alcune esigenze specifiche non coperte dallo standard ·  queste esigenze o sono state dimenticate, con conseguente maggior attività operativa, oppure sono state coperte da soluzioni dipartimentali presenti in modo disarmonico nel sistema informativo aziendale ·   l'aggiornamento dell'ERP si dimostra sempre più oneroso, anche a causa della necessità di allineamento delle componenti non standard ·    di contro, il mancato aggiornamento dell'ERP comporta l'incapacità di adegu...
